A WORD TO THE WISE!
=================
If you want to sell on eBay don't even bother with a 'Buy it Now' price as it just gives the Nigerian scam artists a chance to do the following:
My 3-day auction has just been completely ruined by Nigerian scam artists opting to 'Buy it Now' totally ignoring the terms of the sale i.e. UK only & PayPal/Personal Cheque only payment methods, & asking I ship to Lagos at the same time as demanding my personal details. End result my listing is no longer on eBay since it appears to be 'sold'.
Sorry to rant but I have to go to France in the morning & should be in bed not trying to repair the damage these tw#ts have done to my auction.
Be warned! ... scum of the earth. end of story.

You can select what countries you want to sell to in "My Preferences" (e.g. only UK registered eBayers).

You can have "Europe" and other combinations. I've never used it myself but other people have told me it works.

I used it once without any trouble, but having read this I don't think I'll use it again |

Yep same thing has just happened to me, some bloke from china or somewhaer, wanting me to send to nigeria for some present or something, had to relist the item again, now trying to get my fees back off ebay, which is no easy task.
